which it hadiiSeETEe^ped to bring abou& Mjr attempt jr, to~wR!e ffie history of the Habsburg Monarchy ^vWiout dis cussing Habsburg foreign policy made much of the original book puzzling; and I hope I have now remedied this defect. The other principal change is in treatment* Despite efforts to face reality, the earlier book was still dominated by the "liberal illusion"; many passages talked of "lost opportune ties'* and suggested that the Habsburg Monarchy might have survived if only this or that statesman or people had been mord sensible. It was difficult to escape from this approach after read^ ing the works of innumerable contemporary writers of good
who either wrote before the fall of the Monarch^ or stffl could not believe that it had vanished. Xhese regrets are no part of the duty of a historian, especially when the story which he tells makes it clear, time after time, that there were no will,
opportunities to be lost. The conflict between a super-national dynastic state and the national principle had to be fought to the finish; and so, too, had the conflict between the master and subject nations. Inevitably, any concession came too late and was too little; and equally inevitably every concession pro duced more violent discontent. The national principle, once earlier launched, had to work itself out to its conclusion. version had also perhaps a "^atiOT^iUusio|i^ that the nationaJLjpo^ wg%4^Mb*~ suggest

On the other hand, I have broken with the absurd practice of clinging to the German or Italian names of places without a single German or Italian inhabitant; in this book I have restored Zagreb to the Croats and Sadova to the Czechs. Apart from Vienna, an international form, I liave broken this rule only with Prague' and Trieste; I do not by this imply that Prague is German or Trieste Italian. The Epilogue does not attempt to summarise the history of the fast 'thirty years; merely to suggest thkt Habsburg themes continued even after the fall of the Habsburg Monarchy.
